Ok so my OH has returned home with the new scales and ....... I am half a stone heavier than I thought I was..... Gahhh this dieting DEFINATELY needs doing..... No wonder my clothes are tight ....gazes at the fruit bowl sadly... How to convince my body that the fruit is as lovely as chocolate and crips and cake. My OH is taking bets with my son how long I am going to stick it..... As he sits by me dunking his biscuits in his tea....telling me I am the same weight as I was 16 years ago.... He's right.... BUT I WAS PREGNANT at the time. I have the willpower.. I have the willpower.. Repeats until her eyes glaze over

Dont forget there is a lot of sugar in fruit sometimes a tiny bit of chocolate is better for you! I am not joking I have NASH and the sugars in fruits go straight to my hips. You do have will power lots of will power try and enjoy your change of eating stop calling it a diet some how it doesn't help just change your approach good luck I will be joining you when all my bisquits are eaten xgins

Oh VG it is hard isn't it? I'm having a struggle with my weight again I lost 3.5 stone last year with slimming world,have put on a stone and a half back on its a killer It's the willpower to get going,I can loose the weight it's keeping it off that's the hard part. I can't face going back to sw at the mo as my nerves are too bad to cope with a group of people. My friend suggested to me about trying to stick to healthy eating during the week then having treats at the weekend. Might be worth a go?xxx

Ok I am NOT on a diet lets be positive .. Well my stomachs telling me my throat has been cut and I feel like I am on hunger strike BUT my new approach to eating... Yeah that sounds better will get my clothes looser...

TM I couldn't go to a slimming club, ,,,, I don't like going out in the rain, dunno from one week to the next if I could make it and most importantly I am too broke to pay for classes I may never get to, so am inflicting my suffering on KazF and the forum, at least I am not the only one who feels the urge to change their approach to eating so lets gather up all those unwanted pounds and throw them at LibbyZ when she makes it back here.....

Watch this space ... The fish will transform into a slim ravishing woman.... Yup only if my friend takes over my account .. Well you can't expect miracles.. If I make it to a tadpole I will be very happy

Cut yer chips, boil them a minute or two, then drain them, place on a baking tray and spray with light oil (frylite is OK), then bake in a hot oven 'til brown and crispy. Couple of poached eggs, baked beans, saltn'vinegar ...LUVERLY and very filling. This is slimming the easy way!

But but .... Oven chips come in a bag frozen ....I can't peel or cut potatoes and my OH looked at me like I was talking Italian when I suggested he use fresh potatoes.... EVERYTHING in our house is frozen fridged or in a tin the only thing fresh is the fruit... I would say the air but OH and son both have slippers off.
